Red vulcan

The silverbeet "red vulcan" is currently going off.

Rocket, too.

Ditto the calendulas. And the parsley.

We're on the move again, soon. I've started packing up books from time to time. Eleanour Sinclair Rohde's Garden of Herbs (1920) warns that "...in England old-fashioned gardeners will often tell you they never transplant parsley, as it would bring misfortune on everyone in the house".

I have a forest of the stuff.

We're eating a lot of parsley in preparation 'round here, I can tell you...
